I plan to model a 1/48 scale SBD-3 Dauntless in the markings of VS-71 or VS-72 from the USS WASP, CV-7, during the Guadalcanal campaign. I have purchased the Accurate Miniatures kit of the SBD-3, Coral Sea markings (black box).

The issue I am having is that the AM kit has the single 0.30 caliber flexible gun in the rear seat. Information that I have gathered seems to indicate that the WASP SBD-3’s had twin 0.30’s.

The question is this: what would be the easiest and/or cheapest way to put the correct configuration of the twin 0.30’s in the rear seat of the AM SBD-3 kit?
